Certamen.

[Skylark]

Oh, awesome.

I heard a rumor that in AP Latin they teach you Greek, too. I'm not entirely too sure.

really? how far are you away from AP Latin? that'd be so amazing.

[Lozal]

Only in Latin I this year.

I get Latin II and Spanish II next year.

So, in my junior year, I'll get Latin III and Latin IV, which is equal to the first AP Latin. My senior year I'll take Latin V, or the second AP Latin.

You've got it all figured out! That's great. Do you like languages very much?

[Lozal]

Yes, ma'am. I got an award for being the best Spanish student last year, including a pin I get to wear at my graduation.

And now I'm doing insane in Latin.

Math, science, and languages are my three best areas in school.

That's fantastic! I love languages too!
How are proficient of a spanish speaker are you? I would really love to learn how to speak Spanish.

oh, I'm terrible with math and most sciences! But I found biology very interesting... I like languages and literature and history!

I took Spanish I, but apparently I was at more like a Spanish II level. 

And, yeah, I loooooove biology. Especially the cell and molecular part of it.

And that's cool, I love English too, and some parts of history. I forgot about my love for English because I've had terrible teachers for the past 3 years or so.

I more like the ecology parts! and the things having to do with genes, I found that very interesting and reasons why things happen the way they do!

I have the most amazing english teacher! and she doesn't mind so much with grammar which makes me happy because neither do I (though it is more important to her than it is to me) and we write poetry and read a lot of it and she's so excited about it all, it's wonderful

[Lance7]

I'm honestly surprised you haven't learned fluent Finnish yet.

[Det in F♯ Major]

Yes, ma'am. I got an award for being the best Spanish student last year, including a pin I get to wear at my graduation.

I get this. And a special... too tired to think of the proper name, but since I'm in Spanish National Honor Society, I get the other things you wear around your neck that's not a medal... And a different colored tassel.

Also taking the National Spanish Exam soon.

Genes, and cells and such interest me.

And awesome. I love grammar, and poetry. My teacher is quite good this year.

I'm honestly surprised you haven't learned fluent Finnish yet.

If I was good at teaching myself, I would. :/

Oh, cool. Sounds difficult.

I wonder if there's a Latin National Honor Society or something.

[Lozal]

So, guys, I had my certamen yesterday.

It was six Latin I teams. Our team came in second overall.  It was only some other kid named Mark and myself. The rest of the teams had four people each.

We got a trophy and my Latin teacher's putting it on display. <3


That's Mark and I and our trophy. And my mom's finger. 

That woman was the head of it all who was giving out trophies.
